Shabnam Arsiwala: Did You Know there are Multiple Types of Sickle Cell Disease?

Shabnam Arsiwala, Director ,Sickle Cell Disease Program at Children’s Mercy Kansas City, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Did you know there are multiple types of sickle cell disease?

While many people think of SCD as a single condition, it actually includes several genetic variants, including HbSS, HbSC, and HbSβ-thalassemia, each with unique challenges and treatment considerations.

As new disease-modifying therapies and curative approaches emerge, understanding the specific genotype has never been more important.

Every genotype tells a different story.

Every patient deserves individualized care.”
